RIPE NCC Call for Nominations for Executive Board Seat - May 2010

In compliance with the RIPE NCC Articles of Association, the RIPE NCC is calling for nominations to the RIPE NCC Executive Board.

The vacant seats are for two three-year terms and are to fill the places currently held by Nigel Titley and Jánoz Zsakó, whose terms expire in May 2010.

Voting for the appointment of the RIPE NCC Executive Board members will take place at the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM). The GM will be held on Wednesday, 5 May 2010 from 16:00-19:00, adjacent to the RIPE 60 Meeting, which takes place from 3-7 May 2010 at the Prague Marriot Hotel, Czech Republic. You must be registered for the GM if you wish to attend and vote in the Executive Board election. Registration for the GM opens 25 March 2010, and members will be notified when they can register. If you would like to vote but cannot attend the GM, there are two options that will allow you to vote in the Executive Board elections:

If you wish to vote electronically, you must register to do so by 21 April 2010.
